Abstract Proteasome inhibitor (PI) resistance remains a central challenge in multiple myeloma. To identify pathways mediating resistance, we first map proteasome-associated genetic co- dependencies. We identify cytosolic heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) chaperones as potential targets, consistent with proposed mechanisms of myeloma tumor cells overcoming PI-induced stress. These results lead us to explore allosteric HSP70 inhibitors (JG compounds) as myeloma therapeutics.

Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 15 May 2020; Published: 18 May 2020 Abstract: Mitochondria serve as a hub for many cellular processes, including bioenergetics, metabolism, cellular signaling, redox balance, calcium homeostasis, and cell death. The mitochondrial proteome includes over a thousand proteins, encoded by both the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. The majority (~99%) of proteins are nuclear encoded that are synthesized in the cytosol and subsequently imported into the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria, polypeptides fold and assemble into their native functional form. Mitochondria health and integrity depend on correct protein import, folding, and regulated turnover termed as mitochondrial protein quality control (MPQC). Failure to maintain these processes can cause mitochondrial dysfunction that leads to various pathophysiological outcomes and the commencement of diseases. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about the role of different MPQC regulatory systems such as mitochondrial chaperones, proteases, the ubiquitin-proteasome system, mitochondrial unfolded protein response, mitophagy, and mitochondria-derived vesicles in the maintenance of mitochondrial proteome and health. The proper understanding of mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms will provide relevant insights to treat multiple human diseases.

Through a proteomic analysis of TRAP1 coimmu- noprecipitation complexes, the Ca2+-binding protein Sorcin was identified as a new TRAP1 interactor. This result prompted us to investigate the presence and role of Sorcin in mitochondria from human colon carci- noma cells. Using fluorescence microscopy and Western blot analysis of purified mitochondria and submito- chondrial fractions, we showed the mitochondrial localization of an isoform of Sorcin with an electrophoretic motility lower than 20 kDa that specifically interacts with TRAP1. Furthermore, the effects of overexpressing or downregulating Sorcin and/or TRAP1 allowed us to demonstrate a reciprocal regulation between these two proteins and to show that their interaction is required for Sorcin mitochondrial localization and TRAP1 sta- bility. Indeed, the depletion of TRAP1 by short hairpin RNA in colorectal carcinoma cells lowered Sorcin levels in mitochondria, whereas the depletion of Sorcin by small interfering RNA increased TRAP1 degradation. We also report several lines of evidence suggesting that intramitochondrial Sorcin plays a role in TRAP1 cytopro- tection.

Heat-shock proteins (HSPs) play a crucial role in maintaining protein stability for cell survival during stress-induced insults. Overexpression of HSPs in cancer cells results in antiapoptotic activity contributing to cancer cell survival and restricting the efficacy of cytotoxic chemotherapy, which continues to play an important role in the treatment of many cancers, including triple- negative breast cancer (TNBC). First-line therapy for TNBC includes anthracycline antibiotics, which are associated with serious dose-dependent side effects and the development of resistance. We previously identified YDJ1, which encodes a heat-shock protein 40 (HSP40), as an important factor in the cellular response to anthracyclines in yeast, with mutants displaying over 100- fold increased sensitivity to doxorubicin. In humans, the DNAJA HSP40s are homologues of YDJ1. To determine the role of DNAJAs in the cellular response to cytotoxic drugs, we investigated their ability to rescue ydj1Δ mutants from exposure to chemotherapeutic agents.

They play diverse roles from folding of 7 non-native proteins to the proteasomal degradation of harmful aggregates. A few 8 out of these heat shock proteins (Hsp) help in the folding of non-native substrate 9 proteins and are termed as molecular chaperones. Various structural and functional 10 adaptations make them work efficiently under both normal and stress conditions. 11 These adaptations involve transitions to oligomeric structures, thermal stability, 12 efficient binding affinity for substrates and co-chaperones, elevated synthesis during 13 shock conditions, switching between ‘holding’ and ‘folding’ functions etc. Their 14 ability to function under various kinds of stress conditions like heat shock, cancers, 15 neurodegenerative diseases, and in burdened cells due to recombinant protein pro- 16 duction makes them therapeutically and industrially important biomolecules. 17 Keywords Chaperone assisted folding · Heat shock · Molecular chaperones · 18 Protein folding · Structure-function of chaperones 19 Abbreviations 20 ACD α-crystallin domain 21 ADP Adenosine di-phosphate 22 ATP Adenosine tri-phosphate 23 CCT Chaperonin containing TCP-1 24 CIRCE Controlling inverted repeat of chaperone expression 25 Bhaskar K.
